Gaijin treats April Fools more seriously then that.

The inflatable sherman event is an example of I would beg to differ.

There were two events that year. There were the walkers too (the first multi turret vehicles if I recall correctly)

Which just lends credence to bumper boats being a possibility for a silly event.

listen to be honest all we can do is keep on asking gaijin for playable carriers will it happen maybe would we all love to see playable carriers defiantly. I mean think about go into a naval battle with someone in the USS Hornet and someone in a HMS Illustrious and just watch a really amazing battle between 2 carriers.
Welp. I’m disappointed

Bvvd mentioned plans for improvements to the flight behaviour of AI-controlled aircraft in one of his responses abt the ongoing development of the Nuclear Thunder test/event:
It 's not directly related, since this is abt the " named bots " that fill spots in unbalanced queues. But since the presense of the ai behaviours for player-controlled carrier airgroups in the files is one of the oldest and most solid evidence that development for player AC 's has begun and is ongoing, it 's possible that improvements in that related area of the game 's development might bleed back into this one.

question what is the odds of them being in a event? And what are our odds of seeing modles soon?
USS Midway(CV-41) has once again appeared on Artstation, this time in a showcase for an advertisement

I’m leaning more towards carriers probably being useless just because I don’t see Gaijin making good aircraft AI.
For “sending all squadrons at a single ship” that just seems like a lot of kills for the ship even if it eventually dies. Plus, that’s the equivalent of shooting all ammo at one ship, it’d be bad balancing if it doesn’t die when you practically spend your whole combat capability doing this.
Only risk here I see is that Gaijin might see this as excuse to ruin air kill rewards in general, because that seems like something they’d do when there’s suddenly more air targets.
Yeah true, that’s probably the main issue. Everything else could be balanced with enough effort, but this would just be a pain. At best I could imagine a system where running out of aircraft (all aircraft died) is a death, but then people could still just not launch the last ones and we’d be back at the same issue.
(I still need to read this topic so some of this might be really wrong, it’S just continuing another conversation)
